How can I use the Variables Reference in vscode extension code

Question

I want to use the variable in https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/variables-reference#_predefined-variables in the vscode extension source code.

How can I get the access to them? Anyone know it?

There is no direct method to get them on official website or github.

I don't think there is any api access to the built-in variable resolver. You will have to make your own. Here is a good example from another extension Commands:
